the winter flower

As much as Kazehaya is a precious friend (perhaps, something more); he is also a teacher. He gives her knowledge she cannot find in textbooks or whiteboards; about moving friendship, contagious laughter and fun – she is a greenhorn of countless. There are so many parts of her she is unaware of, yet to be recognised and understood, especially regarding feelings – especially regarding romance. But Kazehaya just gazes on during class, watching her scribble and listen with patient eyes and a gentle smile.

He's probably waiting too, for the time she finally blossoms in full bloom for the world to see.
